Matt bolsters his gun as he gets ready for his new bodyguard job. His wife expresses her concern that he is bringing the gun. Later, at Ridgway Jewelry, Matt and Jessica fight each other with their respective weapons. Matt proves the victor--he holds Jessica at gunpoint and forces her to drop her weapon.

Matt uses his gun extensively in holding the Bennet family hostage. While pointing the gun at Claire, he hears both her and her father's thoughts to shoot Claire because she can't be hurt. He shoots Claire in the chest.

Matt later takes his gun out of the glove compartment of his car. He sneaks into Alena's house and aims his gun at the owner. He is unable to pull the trigger and lowers the weapon.

In Danko's apartment, Matt first brandishes his gun against Danko and uses telepathy to force a confession about Daphne's death. He then trains the gun on Alena again, stating that it's the only way to make Danko feel the way he made Matt feel. Once again, Matt can't shoot her. He drops his weapon to the floor.

Notes

During a hearing, the LAPD captain requests Matt's gun as part of his six-month suspension (The Fix). It is unknown if this is the same gun Matt uses at other times, if Matt owns more than one gun, or if it is simply a continuity error.

Trivia

Matt holds a carry permit for the gun. As a private security guard for Malsky, he makes $500 a day--he would only make $350 a day if he did not have a carry permit. (Run!)
